i only wonder what would happen if the little guy were to end up in the fan on the vid card

No chance of that happening, Bender is bolted in place with a threaded rod in his foot.

I opted to make the case flat as the coolers I am building will be heavier than stock and I wanted to keep the boards warp free, especially the card in the 1/2 length 4X slot.

As for an update on the overclocking situation:

So far I have the CPU up to 2800Mhz with a 1600Mhz FSB, the G33 board gets grumpy pretty quickly past that but I had it posting with a 2000Mhz FSB but choking once I got into Windows. More research and testing needed there.

And I have both GTX260s are clocking very nicely, the 55nm Core 216 is especially quick:

The 65nm BFG will be the first to get a cooling upgrade as it runs hotter than the EVGA. Pics to come when I get that far.
